AIA Introduces New Contract Documents for Sustainable Projects

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) today announced the release in November of 2013 of seven new Sustainable Projects (SP) contract documents. The release includes SP versions of the AIA’s two families of Construction Management documents, Construction Manager as Adviser (CMa) and Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc), as well as B103–2007 SP, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Large or Complex Sustainable Project. B103–2007 SP is an agreement between Owner and Architect that is specifically developed for use on large or complex sustainable projects. It is written for use in the design-bid-build delivery model; however, and with some modification, it is also well suited for use on CMc projects. The new Sustainable Project documents are currently available through the current version of AIA Contract Documents software, and individually through AIA Documents-on-Demand.
